It was such a treat to talk with
@WilliamShatner
this morning, my all-time favorite celebrity.
We spoke about the upcoming screenings of Star Trek 2
#TWOK
,
@kirstiealley
#RushLimbaugh
and more.
He also asked me something I'll never forget.
Listen here.
Every Governor keeping their state shutdown until May 15th, should voluntarily go without salary until then, in solidarity with all of the citizens that are going to be doing so without a choice.
You have to wonder why
@NewYorker
is so desperate to convince the public that
@RobertKennedyJr
is a lunatic.
What are they so afraid of if he has no chance of winning?
It certainly seems like a great deal of effort to spend on a third party candidate.
#RFKJr2024
I applaud
@AndrewYang
for becoming a political independent. He's been independent minded for a long time and this move takes real leadership. I hope other prominent leaders in both parties follow his lead.

.
@realDonaldTrump
did better in New York State than any Republican running for Pres in 32 years. Perhaps this should be a message to NY Republicans that there's a few lessons they can learn from him on both issues and style.
The same day
@AOC
attacked
@AndrewYang
for issuing a tweet supportive of
#Israel
,
@SpeakerPelosi
, who actually has far more influence when it comes to foreign policy than Yang does, put out a similarly supportive statement. Why was she completely silent about what she said?
It’s a healthy beautiful baby boy for
@frankmorano
and his wife Rachel! 🥳
Meet Carmine William Morano. Born at 9:11 PM ET on Thanksgiving.
He and Mom are doing great!
It would be nice if
@NYGovCuomo
's statue commission were to put up a statue depicting both Scalia and Ginsburg together. It could be right at the Brooklyn-Queens border and serve as not only a tribute to 2 great New Yorkers but a monument to civility.
It's interesting that the
@washingtonpost
commercial on how great journalism is, with
@tomhanks
chose not to focus on all of the great reporting on the corporate welfare that
@amazon
is getting. In NYC, that's been some of the finest journalism that I've seen.
Keep in mind....
@jerome_corsi
almost took a guilty plea. Now he's not even charged???? Forgetting about what you may think of Corsi, what does this say about our justice system in general and the overwhelming pressure to plead guilty to crimes you haven't committed. Apology??
I’m thrilled to announce that I have rejoined the
@77WABCradio
family. I can’t tell you how thrilled I am to be back at one of the premiere talk stations in the nation and the one I grew up listening to. I will have a regular on-air role, which we'll announce in the near future.
New Yorkers miss the good old days when
@NYGovCuomo
was just disbanding Moreland Commissions, funding the Buffalo Billion and ignoring his top aide's criminality.
Apparently, the Travis Independence Day parade in Staten Island (the oldest in the country) has been cancelled due to the pandemic. How can shoulder to shoulder marches of 1800 people be okay, but not a patriotic parade, which many people look forward to?? This is such a shame.
Nicole is absolutely right. Why would a district that voted nearly 60 percent for
@realDonaldTrump
want a Representative who's trying to remove the President from office without the consent of the voters??? Not only will I be voting for Nicole, but I'll be voting against Max!!
Today Max Rose declared that he will vote for impeachment along with Pelosi, Nadler, Ocasio Cortez & Omar. His words send a clear message to
#StatenIsland
and southern Brooklyn & next November we’ll send a clear message back by voting for
@realDonaldTrump
& sending Rose packing.
In addition to "confirmed cases" and "deaths" that the cable news networks show a running rally of, I think it would be nice if they also showed the number of people who are confirmed to have recovered from the virus. Isn't that at least as newsworthy?
Apparently
@Credico2016
is now threatening
@morganpehme
(director of "Get Me Roger Stone") that he'll expose us unless I lay off him on the radio. This says alot about the credibility of Mueller's star witness.
With his performance on LI this week, in my view
@leezeldin
has become the leading GOP candidate for Suffolk County Executive next year.
Best bet for the GOP to turn a blue seat red.
I'm hearing that
@CaraCastronuova
is making calls to GOP leaders around the state about a bid for U.S. Senate. I think she's a really intriguing candidate.
If the GOP was smart, they'd allow her,
@MikeSapraicone
&
@JoshEisen17
into a primary.
Those of you, who listen to me on a regular basis know of my fondness for
@kingsthings
. There's simply no one on radio or TV like him. For years, I've sought to interview him, so far, to no avail. I'm hoping that if 50,000 people retweet this tweet, he will agree to an interview.
It was great to run into actress & model
@XENSAMS
yesterday. I've known Xen for a long time and I'm a regular listener to her podcast & radio show on
@710WOR
. Her show is terrific and I'm pleased she's doing so well.
#MomentofXen
During the Presidential campaign,
@AndrewYang
was a big supporter of
#DemocracyVouchers
. So far, we haven't seen him raise the issue in his Mayoral campaign even though, NYC is in dire need of an alternative to the disastrous matching funds program. I hope he makes this an issue.
The advertisements slamming
@NMalliotakis
are really repugnant. Not only are they completely dishonest, but they're just viscous. I'm not sure how a candidate can ask for the public's trust, while running ads that are lying to them. Shame on the
@MaxRose4NY
campaign.
If you missed my interview with
@DougAMacgregor
in which we discussed
#Yemen
, the
#Houthis
and the Middle East, please listen to it here.
I thought it was a fascinating discussion.
I'm very pleased to report that our show on
@77WABCradio
is once again the
#1
show in the NYC market for our time slot (in both the 12+ category & M 35-64).
Thank you to everyone who listens. Hopefully our audience continues to grow.
It's very possible to be against police misconduct and support the police. The two aren't mutually exclusive. The media makes it seem like an either/or proposition. That's not the case.
It seems as if leading city officials are more concerned with finding the person who threw red paint on the Black Lives Matter mural than finding those responsible for the carnage in Canarsie yesterday.
I'll be voting early today. If you're a Staten Islander, I hope you'll strongly consider voting for
@NMalliotakis
. She's a hard worker and an independent voice for NY, who has repeatedly stood up for infrastructure, police & border security. She's also a great person.
Peter Gotti was in incredibly poor health for years. He'd been in prison since 2003 after being convicted of a nonviolent crime. He should've been able to die at home or in a proper hospital. Vindictiveness on the part of DOJ.
The Mayor says he's focused on the job that he has right now. As evidence of this, he's flying around the country on a multi-city tour to explain what Democrats should be doing. I'd hate to see what would happen if he was unfocused.
If this ticket wins anything (up to and including the jackpot), I will be splitting the prize evenly with everyone who retweets this by 11PM ET this evening.
Not 1 of the stories in the news today linking Gene Gotti to the slaying of Frank Cali cites one bit of evidence or testimony. It's really irresponsible on the part of the news media and law enforcement. Looks like an attempt to use the Gotti name to sell papers (& get clicks).
Happy Birthday to John Gotti Jr. His life is a testament that it is possible to overcome your upbringing and turn your life around for the sake of your family. His prosecution is also a great example of govt vindictiveness. Previous interview:
It was such a treat to share the stage with the iconic
@WilliamShatner
. It was genuinely the thrill of a lifetime.
Thanks to everyone who came out. Hoping to see a bunch of you tonight at
@BergenPAC
.
According to FBI statistics, Baltimore is the 4th most dangerous city in America. Last week, their city council voted to make $22.4M in cuts to their police department. What could possibly go wrong?
Sorry to hear about the passing of Herman Cain. His performance in the 2012 debates were unforgettable. He also caused many to question the wisdom of the existing tax code.
Thank you Joe. It's been my honor. Thanks for all of the opportunities you've given me over the last six years and thanks most of all for your friendship.
Beginning Monday morning, I'll be heard every weekday morning on
@77WABCradio
from 1-5 AM ET. I do hope you'll tune in. We'll try to cover some subjects you don't often hear on the radio and I'll take your calls on anything and everything.
If the FBI made this many "errors" in a criminal investigation that was this high profile, think of how many "errors" this agency makes in ordinary or low level investigations.
I'm hearing that apparently
@NYCMayor
's daughter was arrested for disorderly conduct at 12th Street & Broadway. She was there protesting the police as the crowd was throwing objects at the cops. She was told to disperse and refused.
We now live in a world where
@JohnHinckley20
, a man who tried to assassinate a President (and who permanently disabled James Brady) is allowed on twitter, but the former POTUS is still banned.
Surely this is is the sort of disparity that
@elonmusk
will address in his new role.
One thing you can say about lower Manhattan under
@BilldeBlasio
is that at least you never need to buy marijuana, since you get high just walking the streets.

So pleased that Roger Stone's sentence has been commuted. I'm so pleased to hear this. I wish it were a full pardon but I'm glad this nightmare is over. Regardless of partisanship, there's no excuse for abusing prosecutorial authority this way. Good for you Roger.
If the taxpayers are footing the bill for sexual harassment settlements, we have a right to know, which members of congress we're making the payments on behalf of.
This Gravano rehab publicity tour is enough to make me puke. This man is a murderer, who escaped real punishment for a lifetime of crime by ratting out people better known than him. After getting away w/ murder, he chose to become a drug dealer. He doesn't deserve a 3rd chance.
I'll again be substituting for
@sidrosenberg
tomorrow morning on the
@bernieandsid
Show. Listen from 6-10 AM ET on
@77WABCradio
. As I told Sid today, there's no one who can fill his shoes, but I'll give it my best effort.
Before
@elonmusk
's ownership of
@Twitter
, I assumed I was being shadowbanned because of the lack of responsiveness to my tweets.
Now, I've come to realize, it's just that no one cares about my tweets.
Today Carmine and I went to the polls to cast a vote for
@JoeBorelliNYC
for his final term in the City Council. Obviously, I'm biased because Joe is a friend, but he's been a champion for Staten Island. Whoever takes this seat in 2 years, will certainly have big shoes to fill!
The people that I least want to hear pontificating about race relations, policing issues and the plight of the oppressed are millionaire professional athletes.
NEW:
@JCats2013
has officially taken ownership of
@77WABCradio
. Congratulations to John C on taking over a terrific radio station! Congratulations to the employees of the station for actually having an owner that actually likes radio, listens to it and wants to make it better!
I'm 100 percent supporting
@CurtisSliwa
for Mayor and
@JohnnyTabacco
for Comptroller. I've never been a Republican, but in my opinion, I think it's great that there's a GOP primary for both of these offices. For starters, it sends a message that the GOP line is worth having.
My fear is that in the future every President who has an opposing party in Congress, will be impeached. Not good for the country nor the business of government.
This photo is from 13 years ago. The newspaper
@Newsday
identified
@AngelGotti5
and her unidentified companion. I was the unidentified companion. Tomorrow we'll reunite on
@am970TheAnswer
. Please listen from 4am-8:30am. I'll also take your calls.
If it's time to end the school mask mandate, maybe it's also time to re-hire the teachers, firefighters and police officers who were fired for not getting vaccinated.
